What do you do with your old HDD when upgrading?

[davidg4781]

I have a 250GB I pulled from my MBP when I replaced it with a 750GB HDD.

I'm not sure what to do with it though. For the past year or so it's been sitting in a USB enclosure in my MacBook bag. It has a fresh install of Lion, but that's it.

What do y'all do with them? It's the original Apple one. I guess it may be good to keep a working install of OS X on it in case mine crashes an I need to boot it up for some reason.

I also have a 1TB HDD I use for Time Machine, so that's covered.

i usually have some friends who might not have as much tech as i do, so i'd give it away to a friend

If you're into a lot of media, you can never have enough storage. I use mine as an external.

What iLog said. I buy a $10 USB casing and convert it into external storage. 4 hard-drives so far.

I secure erase and sell on CL. Offsets the cost of new ones more than you'd think and demand is pretty decent.

Good call...I've been thinking about upgrading to an SSD when prices drop a bit more (I'm not going back to 100/200 memory on my MBP) but the PS3/4 will be a perfect home for my current 750GB.
